If Loving You Is Wrong, I Don't Want To Be Right Lyrics - Singles - Mandrell Barbara

(Writers: H. Banks / R. Jackson / C. Hampton) 

If loving you is wrong... 

I don't want to be right 

If being right means living without you 

I'd rather live wrong than right 

My Mama and Daddy say "It's a shame..." 

"It's a downright disgrace" 

But as long as I've got you by my side 

I don't care what my people say 

My friends tell me there's no future 

In lovin' a married man 

If I can't see you when I want... 

I'll see you when I can 

Bridge: 

If loving you is wrong, I don't want to be right 

If loving you is wrong, I don't want to be right 

Am I wrong to fall 

So deeply in love with you... 

Knowing you've got a wife and two little children 

Depending on you too 

Am I wrong to hunger 

For the gentleness of your touch... 

Knowing you've got someone else at home 

Who needs you just as much 

Chorus: 

Am I wrong to give my love 

To a married man? 

Am I wrong for trying to hold on 

To the best thing I've ever had? 

If loving you is wrong...I don't want to be right 

If loving you is wrong...I don't want to be right 

Repeat Chorus: 

I don't want to be right...if it means living without you 

I don't want to be right...if it means sleeping alone at night 

I don't want to be right 

If loving you is wrong...I don't want to be right 

If loving you is wrong...No, I don't want to be right
